Sibella's story

By Samara on December 5, 2011

We have been approached by a writer/film maker who is interested in making a film of Sibella, the cheetah who, when released on Samara some 6 years ago after suffering terribly at the hands of humans, made history by being the first cheetah back in the Karoo in 125 years. As many of you will know, she has produced and successfully raised 3 litters of cubs thereby contributing a total of 17 cubs to the endangered cheetah population of South Africa. She has inspired so many of our guests that she must rate as a superstar.

We are asking anybody who has either still photos or video footage of Sibella with her cubs, to please send these images/footage to Hayley who is writing her Masters degree on cheetah – volunteer@samara.co.za

Sibella’s story deserves to be told so that she can go on to inspire many, many more people.
